Slagar 0 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hello, I am originally from Bulgaria used to go hunting with my grandfather since the age of 14. Unfortunately school got in the way and then university...I used a 40 pound recurve bow and and an old Parker-Hale rifle. Obviously different laws here and I would like to learn more so I can go back to hunting. From what I understand bows and crossbows are illegal to hunt with, here in the UK could anyone elaborate on that as I talked to a work colleague who said sometimes farmers would allow bows. A bit confused and really don't want to violate any laws. Other then that I look forward to making some friends who share this passion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Welcome aboard mate Any form of bow hunting is illegal in the UK. Shotguns and rifles require a license. Are rifles are probably the easiest way to hunt small game - no license required but, you will need permission from a land owner to hunt on their land, otherwise it's armed trespass - also illegal. There's a few points to consider but, don't let it put you off. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
